What is payroll tax?
Payroll tax is a tax levied on the wages of employees or persons assimilated to them. As an employer, you deduct payroll tax from your employee’s paid wages. Then, as an employer, you pay the withheld payroll tax to the Tax and Customs Administration.
What should you pay attention to when it comes to payroll tax?
It is very important that you withhold and remit the correct amount of payroll tax. This will prevent you from being fined. It is also important to make best use of the expense allowance scheme and other existing exemptions. Taking full advantage of this is not always easy due to complex regulations. Consider, for example:
- Assessing employment relationships (is the individual an employee or self-employed?).
- Making proper and optimal use of the expense allowance scheme.
- Fixed cost allowances.
- The company car/delivery van.
- Remittance reductions.
Tip! There are many opportunities and savings option, but unfortunately also risks. You should therefore make sure you are well informed in order to avoid unexpected costs or fines. Our payroll tax specialists will be happy to help you with this.
